About LaKesha
LaKesha Thomas helps people facing addiction, anxiety, depression, stress, and compassion fatigue. She also supports those dealing with family problems, self-esteem concerns, and major life changes. LaKesha holds a Florida LCSW and brings five years of clinical experience to her work.
She keeps sessions straightforward and focused. Conversations are a place to talk through what is happening now and figure out practical next steps. She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space so people can say what they really think and feel.
How LaKesha works
LaKesha draws on several approaches to match what each person needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and actions, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build acceptance, and Mindfulness practices to help people stay grounded in the moment. She also uses Client-Centered methods to follow each person's lead and Emotionally-Focused ideas when relationship feelings are central.
In sessions she helps people set small, achievable goals. That can mean changing daily habits, practicing new ways to respond under stress, or learning skills to manage anxiety and depression. She listens for strengths and builds on them when planning next steps.
LaKesha works with issues such as blended family challenges, caregiver stress, fatherhood concerns, fertility and pregnancy matters, veteran and armed forces issues, HIV/AIDS, post-traumatic stress, and traumatic brain injury. Sessions are offered in English and take place with a Florida LCSW who focuses on practical, person-centered support.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
LaKesha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change the actions that keep problems going. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it focuses on clear steps and skill practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another approach she uses to help people clarify what matters to them and take value-driven actions even when emotions are hard. Mindfulness Therapy is offered to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity during stressful moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss these options with each person and tailor methods to their goals, preferences, and daily life. That collaborative process makes it easier to choose practical tools that fit how someone wants to live and cope.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people talk face to face, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins or ongoing support easier to fit into a busy schedule. These options help people access licensed professionals from home, at work, or while traveling and make it simpler to keep regular appointments.
